UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.

NELSON JERRY, OF MAPLE LAKE, MINNESOTA.

PLOW.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 590,371, datedSeptember 21, 1897.

Application filed January 20, 1897. Serial No. 619,931. (No model.)

T0 all wwnt t may concern/.-

Be it known that I, NELSON JERRY, resid-l ing at Maple Lake, in thecounty of Wright and State of Minnesota, have invented a new and usefulPlow, ot which the following is a specification.

This invention relates generally to plows, and more particularly to themoldboard, whereby the earth is turned over before leaving the moldboardor share.

The invention consists also in the novel construction of braceconnections between the standard and handles.

lVith these various objects in view my invention consists,essentially,ofa moldboard or plowshare having a forwardly and upwardly curved wingupon the inner or cutting edge; and the invention consists also incertain details of construction and novelties of combination, all ofwhich will be fully described hereinafter and pointed out in the claim;

In the drawings forming a part of this specification, Figure l is a viewshowing the practical application of my invention. 2 is abottom planview. Fig. 3 is a rear view. Fig. 4 is a detail perspective view of themoldboard or plowshare.

In carrying out my invention I employ a standard A, which is essentiallythe same as those now in use and to which is attached the point B. Alandside C is also the same as usual. The moldboard or plowshare D isattached to the point and connected to the landside by means of thearched straps E, as shown most clearly in Figs. 2 and 3.

The main or body portion of the plowshare or moldboard is constructedthe same as usual, but it will be noted that the said plowshare ormoldboard is provided with an integral upwardly-curved andforwardly-projecting wing F, said-wing tapering slightlyin width, asmost clearly shown in Fig. 3, said wing being arranged upon the inner orcutting edge of the moldboard or plowshare. The purpose of this wing isto turn the earth over or back upon the moldboard before leaving thesaid moldboard, .thereby preventing the earth dropping over the top ofthe moldboard back into the furrow.

One of the handles, G, is attached to the landside,while the other one,H, is attached to the moldboard or plowshare.

A brace I extends from the handle G to the standard A, and a brace-rod Kextends through both handles and connects with the standard at the samepoint as the brace I, said braces I and K being secured by the same nutsL, as most clearly shown in Figs. 2 and 3.

Thus it will be seen that I provide an exceedingly cheap and simpleconstruction of plow, in which the moldboard or plowshare iseconomically and durably attached to the standard and point, one inwhich the brace connections between the handle and standards are simpleand efficient, and one in which the moldboard or plowshare willperfectly turn the earth forwardly before leaving saidmoldboard;

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is

In a plow, the combination of the standard, the point, and the moldboardconnected with the point, said moldboard being formed with an integraltapering projection'curved upwardly and forwardly for completely turningthe earth and preventing it dropping back of the plow into the furrow,substantially as shown and described.

his NELSON JERRY.
